Supposing there, was r treaty in natural products as the Conservatives have been asking fol for 12 years, it would knock the bottom out of all Jock stated the whole evruiug. In Mr. Porter's reply to Mr. McMillen he caught John's unrestricted "rooel iprocity' on the fly and showed to the entire satisfaction of the audience that he (McMillen) was misrepresenting the state of affairs, To clinch the mat ter when reference was made to tl,e blue books, McMillel, had to ask? nowledge that he was in the wrong, Mr. Porter defended his action or the salt question and other matter; and concluded hie address by stating that free trade in natural products only would benefit the people of Canada and keep them from direct taxation. A vote of thanks was tendered the chairman and acknow• ledged. Lusty cheers were given for the Queen, Sir John Macdonald, Porter and Cameron, and the crowd dispersed after attending a very orderly meeting.

Holmes, the Conservative Candi- date for East Huron, who in a clear and intelligent manner debated thefor political questions of the day. Dr. Sloan, of Blyth, was present and spoke in the interests of the Refor•n party and free trade, making his points as clear as mud. He made the very reckless and at the same time • untruthful statement that \Vin ham had not advanced in g any way in the last 12 years. Mr. Thomas Cowan, of Galt, was then introduced by the chairman and was received with great applause.
